点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Epilepsy is common, costly and neglected. This study is a prospective cohort study of newly diagnosed cases of epilepsy and aims to fill clinical, psychosocial and economic knowledge gaps in epilepsy. The network will use this new evidence for policy recommendations and strategic plans, for health systems and guidelines to improve efficiency and care and to enlighten community-based support programs, education, driving and workplace legislation. This study was developed by a health service, Epilepsy Action, Epilepsy Society of Australia and the George Institute.
